oh, basically the Volkswagen trick. Cars would run dirty while normal but switch into running clean mode when doing emissions testing. VW got caught and paid billions in fines and had to recall a lot of vehicles.
Any updates on this Reiner Fuellmich saga? I feel like it's all background noise and we'll never see anyone actually brought to justice in court. Then again, it's a HUGE case like with Durham and probably takes time to build a list of all the names and amass the proper pile of evidence -- which is likely a difficult undertaking itself with all the fake news and cooked numbers.
Bottom line here, if these machines were configured to PXE Boot before the disk. Then on election day they could be running a completely different OS then the one on the Disk. During the Elections the Machines would run dirty, but during the audits later the machines would run clean.
If they did this, then more likely then not the Splunk Logs, and the router logs would contain this information. This would be why they'd fight to the death to prevent anyone from seeing these logs. The logs could prove that these machines were configured and ran a dirty OS they designed, instead of the one presented during certification.
I think it started with a bad batch of brake pads. The engineers were running around for days shouting "NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING!" but nobody listened until it was too late.
they figured it out because the advertised mpg was so much high than the emissions testing mpg - both were accurate because clean mode destroyed the mpg
Boy, isn't it interesting? More miles per gallon = less gasoline pumped and used; but more emissions control = more gasoline pumped and used but less "emissions". What a catch-22!
If this were the case, then the router logs could show BOOTP/DHCP traffic, proving they booted something other than the programmed OS. The file transfers for it would also be fairly different in terms of total bytes transferred than normal machine traffic while working regularly.
To put it bluntly, the router / Splunk logs would be the smoking gun if these machines PXE Booted a different OS.

Reiner Fuellmich was the attorney.
same guy working on coming Nuremberg 2? Interesting.

The router logs are key. The next shoe to drop.
Haha, nice. I responded "Audi diesel." Yup.

Haaahh 👍🏽
I think I may have installed a set of those pads back in the 80's. Abject Terror.
lol

This is environmentalist-wacko-ism a nutshell.
Kinda like the ethanol scam.
ironically making more emissions in the long run...
i can't recall exactly but likely they had the car 'know' it was being tested when a diagnostic device was plugged into it.
a good documentary on it is one of the "Dirty Money season 1" episodes on netflix which is about the emissions scandal.
can't remember how they got caught but I think independent car autists figured it out.
The EPA equivalent of the CDC's PCR test.
haha good analogy.
Came here to say this . The VW engineer went to jail for the thing.
